OCKlasse Detailed: Jet Black 997 C4S

Here is a Jet Black 997 C4S I worked on yesterday. The car had been detailed previously but was left with a considerable amount of defects. The front driver fender had sanding marks (from the factory I assume) that were not addressed, as well a fairly large scratch on the rear bumper.

You can see where the detailer attempted to buff out the scratch, and the paint around the area began to wrinkle due to the heat. The owner was very adamant about trying to remove as much of the scratch as possible, and I would say all things considered it came out pretty damn well. I used 2000 grit, and attempted to contain the removal of the scratch to as confined of an area as possible. I originally did not want to sand it, but I was coerced into it by the owner.
